Can transcription and translation take place the same way in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

Think about the structure of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Can transcription and translation take place the same way in these different cells? Explain.

In a general language, they are same because all are made of same constituent unit i.e. CELL. But there are some basic differences, like
1 Type of enzymes involved
2 No. of enzymes and protein factors present
3 Site of translation and transcription
4 Duration of these processes

    prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcription basically involves the same principles. but ther are differences in the transcription factors , pattern of enzyme activities etcc..
